I downloaded Mer Manual #6 but it only has a section for dual power trim. I only have a single outdrive with a rocker switch for both tilt and trim. Where can I find service information for this set up? I think the limiter is bad on my trim switch as only 'trim down' works, trim up does not. Tilt works in both directions, but obviously I don't want to accidentally tilt it up to high while underway and damage something.

Go to the troubleshooting section of the #6 manual. It has all the testing procedures for the trim system.
Repairs for the individual parts are listed seperatly.
